Portico Community Church

In this Easter message, Pastor Rick teaches from John 11 and explains what the resurrection of Jesus truly means. It’s not just about going to heaven when we die — it’s about how we live right now.The resurrection gives us hope for today, not just for the future. Jesus came to bring life here and now, and the story of Lazarus helps us see what that looks like in real life.We are ONE Church, with ONE Message, and MANY Expressions.Timestamps:0:00 – Intro & Easter moments1:14 – The meaning of the cross2:02 – Resurrection is more than the afterlife3:02 – Jesus brings life now5:05 – Martha’s view of resurrection6:08 – Lazarus’ story7:15 – New life for the physical world8:32 – What it means to be citizens of heaven10:23 – Jesus’ resurrected body11:08 – Creation matters13:06 – God’s purpose in everything14:02 – Worship through creation15:02 – Our lives reflect heaven15:33 – Jesus is the resurrection and the life
